"In watching the Minecraft kids, I loved watching them work together and collaborate. We started out with literally a blank grassy field, and it is hard to imagine a giant school being built from that. What ended up happening was I witnessed the kids struggle together and learn together, while (mostly) figuring out their problems with minimal bickering. That really impressed me, as this project might have been the best group work I have seen from the students. Going off that point, I also thought they did a great job communicating with one another. They ended up assigning jobs everyday for each kid to work on (for example, X worked on room 304, Y and Z worked on the library, etc.) Again, I thought I would hear arguments such as “I want to work on the library” or “I don’t want to work on that room”, but for the most part, the students realized that in order to reach our goal, they would have to split up the work to get it done. One thing they added that I really loved was lights. I am a Minecraft amateur so I know the basics but nothing too fancy, and was blown away by how creative these students got. They used Redstone blocks and some sort of powder around the outside of the building to make working lights on the inside. I never would have thought of that on my own and was really proud that they came up with that idea together."
